Dedicated to all ordinary people

This film should be dedicated to all ordinary people. Those ordinary people who dare to declare war with the world are warriors. We always praise the extraordinary in life and pay attention to those outstanding people and things, but often most people, when they grow up and get old, find that they cannot become outstanding, but are just so ordinary, ordinary enough to be able to forgotten by everyone, including myself.

What is a friend? A friend may be the same ordinary person as you, cherishing each other's imperfections and reminding yourself and the other person from time to time. Maybe you are not that important to the world, but at least to this friend, you are important enough to be important enough that if one day he loses you, it seems to have lost the meaning of existence. This emotion may be more real than love, at least I think so.

God gave us relatives,
Thank god we can choose our friends.

I learned many years ago that I shouldn't cry and complain in front of others because it only invites ridicule and contempt. We all learn to be strong and mature in front of others, just like Ultraman and Sailor Moon after defeating monsters, leaving perfection to others and swallowing pain. But as I watched the film, with tears streaming down my cheeks and staring at the subtitles in a trance, I began to realize that maybe we need someone to talk to, or at least that one. I often doubt myself, and sometimes feel that I am a failure, CONFUZZLED, I have not found such a friend and lover for many years, and even few people who know me. Like most ordinary people today, I am selfish, I only love myself, I don't have much, so I don't dare to give anything.

ordinary. Being ordinary is not a sin, just like MAX, it is not a sin to be greedy and gain weight, because there is really no other way to fill the empty heart, even if it is to communicate with that virtual friend. In this chaotic world full of reinforced concrete and machines communicating between people, it is fortunate that we did not choose drugs and suicide to indulge ourselves and surrender to the world. We are just a little bit of a house, watching, listening and feeling the world in front of a screen, closing ourselves in a safe way, and expressing ourselves in words in front of strangers. If you don't try hard to find even a little bit of humanity from time to time, you will one day be assimilated to the point where you don't even have the strength to resist, and finally you don't even have consciousness. Fortunately, we can still cherish this kind of human tenderness in the movie.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Ken: Born in a barn in the hills of Boronia, Ralph lived a long life and died of pneumonia.

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: I was born Jewish and used to believe in God but I've since read many books that have proven God is just a figment of my imagination. People like to believe in God 'cause it answers difficult questions, like where did the universe came from, do worms go to heaven and why do old ladies have blue hair. And even though I'm an atheist, I still wear my yarmulke as it keeps my brain warm.
